Buying home is a dream project for many. It involves a lot of research and contemplation. This article will focus on the parameters that should be considered while doing the home hunting for your dream property.
Check the builder’s reputation in the market:
Before you buying a property you must check the overall profile of the builder. You must find out how many projects the builder has completed and whether there were any delays. You can collect such information from the company website and customer feedbacks that are available in different online forums. Also, check what opinion customers have of the builder and the project.
Commutability:
You must calculate the distance of the house that you are planning to buy from your work place and your children’s school. This is so because travelling long distance will not only increase your transport expenses but would also make you feel fatigued. Even check whether the roads are in good conditions, at least in 1km radius. Other basic requirements like hospitals and market places should be in close proximity as well. There should be good transport facilities as well.
Scope for home loans:
